Hi, thanks for visiting my pages.I'm Beth and I live and work in Dublin, Ireland where I wear a few hats – as an artist, lecturer (in the National College of Art and Design), writer (fiction and non-fiction), mindfulness instructor (facilitate workshops and help run a weekly Zen meditation group), and owner of two enormous dogs (Mr Bojangles and Dune).
Born in Boston to an Irish Dad and a 'Mainer' Mum, I have bobbed between the two sides of the Atlantic all my life with detours for five New York City years (as artist/ dogwalker), which was wonderful but had me addled, so I took to the sweet quiet of a Zen monastery in Japan where I lived as a monk for three years. These experiences have shaped my current life which combines art, teaching and a love of the natural world. |
